Aganorsa Leaf: La Validacion Connecticut Gran Toro Cigars

Aganorsa tobacco is known throughout the industry for its quality and similarity to the iconic Cuban flavor and aroma. Based in Nicaragua, Aganorsa Leaf is a project by Eduardo Fernández and his son, Max, that started in 1998 when Eduardo traveled to Cuba and assembled a team of former Cubatabaco agronomists with the goal of replicating the profile of Cuban cigars, creating the specific leaf now known as Aganorsa tobacco. At first, Aganorsa acted as the tobacco supplier of Casa Fernández, but in 2018, Eduardo and Max adopted the Aganorsa name into their cigar lines, rebranding Casa Fernández as Aganorsa Leaf

The La Validación series replaced Casa Fernández's original core line in 2022, featuring the same Corojo, Habano, Maduro, and Connecticut versions, only under the La Validación title. The name draws inspiration from Aganorsa Leaf president Paul Palmer who refers to his cigar approval process as "validating," as opposed to merely "testing." The Aganorsa Leaf La Validación Connecticut features fillers and binder from the esteemed Aganorsa farms in Nicaragua enveloped in an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper. Rich in flavor and full of complexity, these cigars showcase the profile of Aganorsa tobaccos and offer a unique take on Connecticut-wrapped cigars.
